Truth

Did you really mean what you said?
Did you mean it?
Or were they just words
floating
slipping
sputtering
ugly
bitter words
from bitterness
Subconscious
Did you really mean it?
Or did you mean the other thing?
The thing you said last Saturday
when everything was bright and good
and you were perfect
and I was beautiful
and you were too
I love you
Mean the good words
I beg you
Forget the bitter
I want you
Speak only truth.
